Pearform Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I downloaded CCleaner for Windows v4.19 on October 25, 2014 directly from the official Piriform website. On November 6, 2014, I again downloaded CCleaner for Windows v4.19 directly from the official Piriform website. The two zip files are different. The executable code inside the archives is different. Is Piriform changing the executable files without changing the version number (not a good practice), or have the Piriform servers been compromised? I sent the above information, along with a copy of both archive files directly to Piriform, but did not receive any response. I would like to attach the files here, but the maximum file size allowed is less than the size of the CCleaner download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2014 On very rare occasions they could quickly release a minor bug-fix version, however the version number has always historically changed when that happens. Nothing has been officially stated in the Announcements area of any changes to v4.19, and nothing has been told to the volunteer moderation staff. If you ever question a download that makes you suspicious of it use a free online virus scanning service such as: Jotti, MetaScan Online, VirusTotal, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
